The trunk is handcrafted and structured with wooden pegs and a tenon structure. The trunk is made with several layers of stacked trays. The ornate carvings decorate the stand of the trunk. Made from a combination of cypress and elm wood with beautiful wood grain, the trunk is very solid and has been kept in excellent condition. Original patina and wear. Circa early to mid 19th century.
